Ok, this is like that saying (as gruesome as it is) "there's more than one way to skin a cat." There's hundreds of ways to cook a plantain. I'm posting this one because it's the simplest that I of and it's my favorite (that I know of).
They are even more nutrient dense than a banana, and versatile as heck. I think of them more like a starch (grain/potatoes) than a fruit. They are a good source of potassium, vitamin A and C, and magnesium (all important nutrients for immune health). Plantains also help regulate our digestive system. Raise your hand if you get constipated when you're anxious. Try a plantain.
INGREDIENTS: 2 green plantains 3 tablespoons coconut oil sea salt, to taste HOW TO PREPARE: 1. Peel the plantains and thinly slice them crosswise. 2. Heat coconut oil in a medium to large frying pan. 3. Add plantain slices in a single layer. (do not overlap) . 4. When edges are golden brown (after 1-2 min) flip each slice and cook for another 1-2 minutes on the other side. You will see the plantain go from off-white to yellow as it cooks. 5. Place them on a plate covered with paper towels to let excess oil drain off. 6. Sprinkle slices with salt while still hot and serve with eggs, vegetables, salad, beans, or instead of chips.
